Well backed and stepped up markedly on form in Ireland when making clearcut winning debut for this yard in ten-runner maiden over C&D; had plenty in hand at the line and an opening mark of 79 could underestimate him.

Without a win since August 2024 but well treated on last year's best efforts and he shaped when seventh of 14 over C&D three weeks ago as though he'd be sharper for that comeback run; seems to like it here; on the shortlist.

A losing sequence is mounting but he has a win and a third from just two attempts over C&D, and the latter was first time out last season; 7lb lower here and he's of obvious interest if cherry ripe after 161 days off (has had wind surgery); one of two very plausible candidates for the Barrons.

Bar a blip on his final 2yo run he's improved steadily, justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton (5f) two weeks ago in gutsy style; up only 3lb but this race looks much stronger so he'll need another personal best.
